Surface Probes

Standard Surface ECA ProbesSelecting the Right Eddy Current Array Probe Has Never Been Easier

Benefits• Truly democratized ECA solutions — Our

standard surface probes are designed to be easy to select, versatile, and used straight out of the box... all at competitive prices.

• Performance — Our standard surface probes are designed using the highest performance standards, the best modeling software, the most advanced materials, and cutting-edge proprietary techniques.

• Durability — Our standard surface probes are designed to take on the real world.

• Expertise and support — Our standard surface probes are backed by the best support in the industry.

Eddyfi offers a variety of mechanical designs to suit your ECA surface examination requirements, ensuring high-quality results and, more importantly, better performance.

All our probes come in a variety of frequency brackets, number of coils, and casing sizes.

RigidThe rigid probe is Eddyfi’s workhorse surface probe. Rugged and cost effective, it minimizes lif t-off for high, uniform sensitivity, making it the probe of choice for flat surfaces.

Semi-flexibleThe semi-flexible probe comes with all the great features of the rigid probe, but it can also easily bend to perform axial scans on convex and concave geometries with height variations along a single axis (such as pipes and floor plates).

PaddedPadded probes are perfect for examining weld beads, as well as transition and heat-affected zones. The probe’s unique, proprietary design allows detecting surface cracks and other

discontinuities in welds with minimal surface preparation. Furthermore, the probe’s membrane is extra-tough to better resist against friction.

I-Flex™ and T-Flex™

I -Flex and T-Flex probes are specifically designed to fit complex geomet r i e s , wh i ch makes them perfect for one-pass examinations of pipes, nozzles, turbine blades, wheels, and any other smooth, curved surface. The unique I-Flex offers three built-in topologies to address various types of flaws, including subsurface flaws.

Sharck™ ProbesRefer to the Sharck probes brochure for details on these ECA probes for crack detection and sizing in carbon steel.
